Hey all,
Believe it or not I have to buy my first sleeping bag since I was 6. I have no idea what to look for so I turn to you for recommendations as to which is best for camping.
I look forward to any advice, good or bad, so suggest away.
Thanks
Paul
We got our girls a pair of black wolf bags. One got a split in it 12 months after buying (seam split) but the buckle on the bags had broke months before. Both got replaced with new bags no questions asked. And the buckle design was different. So I'm happy to recommend them. They are great bags with awesome customer care towards there lifetime warranty
Depends a bit what your doing with it .. Tent.. Pod.. Hiking..winter.. Summer.
I got given one of these bags and I'm very impressed with it! But not cheap I love the built in fly screen and waterproof back.

Also have a carabee -5 sleeping bag for hiking and it's really comfy if you don't mind a tight fit.
Last I've also got a black wolf bag I've had for 15 years and is still in good condition
As mega says depends on what you want it for. If you need it in cold conditions like us Mexicans i recommend a good quality down sleeping bag, they're not cheap but are awesome in the freezing weather. I have a down one and a cheap synthetic one which is fine for summer.
I use a "SELK" bag I find it very warm in cold weather, highly recommend

We went to local camping store and bought ex army ones. Good quality and warm for the high country.
Bought my girls the for winter http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-Outdo...item5662eb232a bloody warm as.......
Me and the missus have these for winter http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/prod...product=306356
Summer time we just use fleece blankets and sheets........ to bloody hot for anything else over here
I've got a light weight army surpus job for the tropics and warmer weather, and a beaut MacPac -5 bag that has seen use since I was 18 (I'm in my 40's now) and is still going strong.
Like anything, you get what you pay for too.
